Educational Projects Around the World
Governments and public education bodies have chosen LiveABC courses and platforms through tenders and public projects, from province-wide textbook adoption in Latin America to city-wide bilingual learning platforms in Taiwan.
Latin America
In Latin America, public tenders have brought LiveABC English teaching systems into entire school networks.
- Colombia: a province-wide tender in Quindío, where every primary school adopted the Come To Live English teaching system
- Ecuador: a provincial tender in which 17 secondary schools adopted the Taking Off English teaching system
- Quito and Guayaquil, Ecuador: an English smart-city co-creation platform producing local English learning content
Taiwan: Chiayi City bilingual smart city
To raise the quality of English learning in its primary and junior high schools, Chiayi City built an interactive bilingual learning platform with LiveABC under the theme "Smart Tour Chiayi". It links local landmarks and school-based curricula with mobile learning, AR and 720° panoramas.
Phase one produced bilingual content for 16 local landmarks: 52 learning points delivered through two apps and a web platform, with video lessons and a total of 81 short lessons, each paired with a themed illustrated dictionary and useful sentences. Phase two planned bilingual textbooks for grades 6 and 7 across the city, built around real-life conversations, speaking practice, cross-curricular learning and self-study.
Taiwan: English Smart City co-creation platform
Working with schools in cities and counties across Taiwan, the English Smart City platform lets learners study survival English for their own city, with 24 themed courses per city at two levels, and then create their own English work: illustrated vocabulary, audio picture books, videos and voice-overs. Teachers assign tasks, review the work and award a digital learning passport, while pre- and post-tests show each student's progress. Selected works, with the judges' comments, become part of the English Smart City and are shared with learners around the world. The same co-creation model has also been used in Quito and Guayaquil.
Across the project, 434 teachers in eight cities and counties attended workshops (target: 200) and 1,335 students took proficiency tests (target: 1,000). The platform was listed in Taiwan's Ministry of Education 2022 catalogue of digital content and teaching software for schools, and was adopted by every primary and junior high school in Hualien County.
Taiwan: county and national projects
Taitung County English Vocabulary Contest
A county-wide platform built on the Ministry of Education's 1,200 basic English words, with a practice mode open to all primary and junior high teachers and students, and a contest mode with primary and junior high divisions.
National Defense University language centre
An online test simulator in eight languages (English, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Arabic), completed in 2017 and still used as a key reference for assessing officers posted overseas.
